Ian tucked his fingers under Jace’s chin, his eyes still dark with regret. “You mean everything to me, kitten.”

“You…uh…” A thousand flutters filled Jace’s stomach.

“I’m dying for a kiss, handsome.” Ian slid his thumb over Jace’s chin.

Guilty eyes turned to smoldering embers. Jace was sucked right into them as he leaned forward, their breaths mingling. “Then kiss me.”

Ian didn’t hesitate, using his muscular arms to pull Jace onto his lap from across the console. The kiss made Jace’s heart thunder as he held on to Ian’s jaw, moaning as Ian expertly explored his mouth.

Someone knocked on the driver’s side window.

“Never a peaceful moment,” Ian growled against Jace’s lips.

“I don’t mean to interrupt you guys, but there’s no parking spaces available. Are you two leaving soon?”

Jace’s brows shot up when he saw his high school math teacher standing there. Mr. Skelton had been the hottest teacher in Falls High, and time had definitely been kind to him. Jace had spent more time daydreaming about the guy than learning math.

The man was relatively young, maybe in his mid-thirties, with striking blue eyes and a charming smile that could make anyone weak in the knees.

Shit. Why was Jace even thinking about his math teacher when he was sitting in Ian’s lap, his lips probably kiss-swollen?

“Jace Galano?” Mr. Skelton squinted then beamed. “How’re things going?”

You just caught me shoving my tongue down a guy’s throat. How do you think things are going?

Jace scrambled off of Ian, trying to remember if he’d studied for his finals. Wait. He’d graduated six years ago. “F-Fine, Mr. Skelton.”

Ian arched a brow.

“My high school math teacher,” Jace whispered.

He was going to strangle Ian for rolling down the damn window and then sticking out his hand. “Ian Grant.”

Did Mr. Skelton just blush?

“I’m well aware of who you are, Mr. Grant.” He shook Ian’s hand then let it go. “Please, both of you call me Reggie.”

“Call me Ian.”

Call me mortified for getting caught making out in a parked truck like a horny teenager. “I…” Jace wished to god a hole would open up and swallow him.

“You’re an adult, Jace.” Reggie chuckled. “I’m no longer your math teacher. You don’t have to worry about me calling your mom.”

Jace slapped a hand over his face. Reggie had tried to ease his embarrassment but had only made it worse. He might be an adult now, but his math teacher’s presence made him feel like he was still in high school.

“You can have this parking space,” Ian said.

“Thanks. It was a pleasure meeting you, Ian,” Reggie said. “See you around, Jace.”

“Same.” Ian rolled up the window as Jace threw up a hand, hoping it looked like a wave since his other hand was still covering his face.

“He’s gone.”

Jace peeked between his fingers to make sure. Reggie was parked behind his car, still waiting for a space. “I can’t go out there. You drive my car.”

“Look at him with dreamy eyes again and I’ll drive your car into the closest lake,” Ian snarled.

“Like he was looking at you?” Jace argued.
